Facilities

A broad range of synthetic biology tools and technologies have been integrated into an automated Design/Build/Test/Learn pipeline. Computational Design tools are available for pathway and enzyme parts selection through to construct assembly workflows.

Build instrumentation includes pipette and acoustic based high throughput liquid handling robotics for automated enzyme screening, pathway assembly, chassis engineering, and product extraction.

Equipment also provides automated colony picking, next generation sequencing and chromatography and mass spectrometry-based analysis. New fully integrated robotics platform for directed evolution and synthetic biology workflows.
